Apostle of Cthulhu

"Mr. Kratos," Si Wei asked when he saw Kratos returning to the room early in the morning and took the initiative to greet him. "Did anything special happen last night?"

Kratos shook his head in a normal way, "No, I followed Nancy, and later found that he found a place to bury the body, and then returned to the mansion and cleaned up the scene."

Is that really all there is to it?

Although Si Wei was still a little curious, since Kratos said so, there was no reason to deceive him, so he regarded it as trustworthy information.

"Okay, I wish you all the best today." Si Wei bowed slightly and walked out of the room.

Kratos yawned and walked to his room. Bell was sitting on the bed, looking through the files and the map of Modo City over and over again, scratching his head, seemingly struggling with something.

"What's wrong? Are you in any trouble?" Kratos sat next to Bell, took a cup of coffee from the bedside table and took a sip.

Bell didn't look up, "Oh, those idiots at the police station pushed a lot of things onto me again, not to mention that this is a case related to the panacea incident, and I have to take it... If I were to be a noble, Moron Everyone in the Toronto Police Department needs to be fired!"

Kratos smiled, but didn't answer.

At this time, Bell raised his head. He, who was most familiar with Kratos, saw something was wrong at first glance.

"Kratos, what is this thing on your neck?"

Kratos usually wears a necklace of the wake doctrine around his neck. It is silver and made of two chains.

But what he is wearing now is a necklace with a single silver chain as a carrier.

This has obviously been replaced!

"Oh, you're talking about this..." Kratos touched his necklace and explained, "I followed Nancy last night and met a few troublesome guys on the way. The necklace was broken during the fight. I had to change my necklace.”

Bell had great trust in Kratos. After all, he was like his father, so he did not doubt Kratos' words.

"Okay, there are too many things here, can you help me deal with them?" Bell scratched his head.

Kratos agreed and obtained several files from him.

After Si Wei had breakfast in the restaurant, he came to Jack's room and knocked on his door.

Jack was as lazy as ever, wearing thick woolen pajamas, and opened the door, "What do you want?"

"Let me go in and talk. It will take some time to explain what's happening now."

Nodding, Jack stepped aside and let him walk in.

Jack's room was much smaller than Si Wei's four-person room, but it was equally luxurious, a kind of luxury that would eclipse it in words.

Sitting on the sofa, Si Wei first consciously poured himself a cup of black tea to moisten his throat that was dry from breakfast, and then said unhurriedly: "Let me tell you from the beginning, the current Mo In many cities, there are people from the Pantheon Cult selling something called a panacea.

"This kind of thing can quickly increase a person's inspiration and sequence nodes, but it is replaced by a high-risk loss of control rate. Last night I already dealt with a case where a person became a degenerate because of the panacea.

"In addition, the raw material of the panacea seems to come from the guy who has been exchanging letters with me, and it comes from the wound of the cave believed by followers of a sect of the Pantheon Cult, and is its secretion."

After listening to Si Wei's summary, Jack touched his chin and nodded in agreement, "Well... there is not much difference from the information I obtained. This should mean that the answers you got are not wrong."

Si Wei raised his eyebrows, "Since you have obtained some information, would you mind telling me some information that you know but I don't know?"

Jack rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Yes, but it's not too important. The first point is... the person in charge of this matter has been confirmed to be a deacon of the Pantheon Religion. In addition, There are only a few followers of Pantheon in Modo City, and most of them seem to have gone to another city.”

Needless to say, the current situation is very similar to the turmoil in the North Sea. When the Lord of the Deep Sea was about to resurrect, a large number of Pantheon believers gathered in the North Sea. Now that so many followers of the Pantheon Religion have gathered together on a large scale, it must be because of the awakening of the cave wound.

And this intelligence conveys a message. When there are only single digits of Pantheon believers in Modo City, it becomes much easier to target one of them, but it is slightly more difficult to find Pantheon believers. Some.

Si Wei pressed his eyebrows and asked: "Then do you have any information about the movements of the followers of the Pantheon Cult? We need to catch a few people who have never seen the dragon in Modo City. That one It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

Regarding this point, Jack could only shrug, "We don't have professional intelligence personnel or professional investigators here. It's not too easy to help you find traces of followers of the Pantheon Cult. Besides, you should have a There is a more suitable helper, why did you come to me?"

The "more suitable helper" in his words naturally refers to Joe across from him, but the weight of Joe and Jack on Si Wei's side is completely different.

Jack and I are in a relationship of use, while Joe is a friend who helps each other. If possible, Si Wei would rather ask for benefits from Jack.

After all, it is difficult to repay a favor owed to friends, but if it is based on mutual use from the beginning, Si Wei will have no burden.

"If you don't know, just say you don't know. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Si Wei stood up, "I'm afraid that things in Modo City will have to speed up. Now the gathering of Pantheon believers has shown that the recovery of the cave wound is imminent. I don't want to rush everything."

Jack nodded, "Don't worry, as long as the things in Modo City are dealt with, many things will become extremely simple next time."

"It's better to do so." Si Wei left this sentence and turned away.

After he left his room and went to Joe's room, Jack's door turned a quarter of a circle and said to the window: "You can come out now."

The space was twisted strangely, and a guy who would be very familiar to Joe stood by the bed later.

That was the masked man who had said he was responsible for protecting Si Wei. He was standing in front of Jack at the moment, and there was no wariness between the two.

"From today on, your mission has changed," Jack said, "You no longer need to protect Si Wei. Instead, you need to protect Joe Rupert."

The masked man nodded first, and then asked, "Why?"

"You don't need to know why," Jack frowned, and the frown deepened, "Joe is a very important person to the Star Foundation. Even if Si Wei has problems, he must not have any problems!"
